>Any other ideas?

Did you miss my post? In Message #925200, I said:
I think I may have found your problem. In your Page_Load there is one point where you have an open connection that you don't close (after a Transaction Rollback). That could *definitely* cause a lot of Open connections. Correct this and see if it solves your problem.

>>>I am using the MS OracleClient and connection pooling in my 2 application. I have the min pool size set to 100 and the max pool size set to 500. The connection strings are identical. This is a test server and I am the only user, but the Oracle DBA is telling me there are 201 open connection for my user name. The 1 is from my TOAD connection, but the connection count is doubled.
